|
Mounting position is definitely a consideration with some contactors. There are units that are designed for horizontal mounting,
or are position insensitive, but there are others that are not. The Series 70 White-Rogers units, that have been very commonly
used in aircraft for decades are position sensitive. Here is a link to some info:

This literature recommends dome, or cap, down. Depending on whether the unit is used as a master or start "solenoid", some
recommend mounting dome up These solenoid/contactors will seem to work OK either way, but there is more potential wear
and possibility of binding or improper operation if they are operated horizontally.
